Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order to challenge birthright citizenship, targeting children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S.

The order argues against the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship for those born on U.S. soil.

It bars federal agencies from recognizing birthright citizenship and imposes a 30-day waiting period for enforcement.

The order is expected to face significant legal challenges, with critics calling it unconstitutional.

    Can’t wait for the Right to recognize that if they normalize nullifying constitutional amendments with executive orders, the next Democrat president can just use that to nullify the 2nd Amendment that they’re so terribly fond of.

    Of course that assumes there will be another election some day.

          Trying to argue “both sides” on an article about a Republican trying to overturn the Constitution with an executive order has got to be embarrassing.

          Ah the both parties are the same guy. Always here, never correct, never helpful.

          I get the impression is that in your mind there are only two teams: people who agree with you 100% and everyone else.

      Democrat president can just use that to nullify the 2nd Amendment

      Can, but won’t, because that would be “going low” and “we aren’t like them”

      You know, like cowardly dipshits

      Yeah, if they let him start dictating constitutional amendments by executive order there definitely won’t be a next election.

      I don’t think that’s a problem. Even if they didn’t plan to begin their dictatorship now, Biden had immunity and didn’t do a goddamn thing with it. Democrats don’t do anything.

        POTUS immunity wasn’t a blanket grant of absolute power. It was just the same BS immunity that cops get for what they do as cops.

      Doesn’t work because the legal body is republican controlled. Only republican choices are above the law.
